But there were no other tetras in that tank. So was he calling out the fact that they were ordered and he doesn’t want to carry the blind cave tetra?

[@urbansk8r231]

You looking from the outside in with that comment. It's like a body builder who wears clothes so you can see the muscles. Some do it to show off. But others wear the clothes because they are proud of the hard work and sacrifices and discapline that went into achieving those muscles. Cory being the latter. He's proud of the success he achieved. Wouldn't you be if you were in his shoes... so nothing is what it seems. So don't be to quick to judge without knowing the why.

Their prices are a bit higher then the big chain shops but I’m happy to pay it as my fish have all been healthy coming from there. You are absolutely right that we would pay that extra knowing the fish will be healthy. Great video Cory !!!
